Hurricane Beryl put Houston to the test in 2024, and the 2025 hurricane season is quickly approaching. Is your HR department prepared? Cozen O'Connor labor and employment attorneys will present an in-person and informative session on the most important legal and practical concerns that should be addressed in every company’s plan, including:

  • Notifying critical employees of their obligations during a weather event
  • Job protections for evacuating and absent employees under Texas state law
  • Handling ADA and FMLA in times of disaster or emergency
  • Emergency employee communications and continuity of HR processes, including payroll
  • Practical and legal issues associated with allowing employees and families to take shelter at employer sites


Enjoy lunch, engaging sessions, panel discussions with members of Kroger's local HR team, and a fun and informative presentation from Justin Stapleton, local award-winning meteorologist for KPRC Channel 2. 

 

CLE is approved in TX, NY, CA, PA, IL, and NV. MN CLE has been applied for approval.
